November 11, 2013 -- The wxWidgets team is pleased to announce a
|
|
major new release of our open source framework for the development
|
|
of native cross-platform applications in C++.
|
|
|
|
wxWidgets 3.0.0 is the first release in the new major stable 3.0
|
|
branch and is available at
|
|
|
|
https://sourceforge.net/downloads/wxwindows/3.0.0/
|
|
|
|
and at our FTP mirror at
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.wxwidgets.org/pub/3.0.0/
|
|
|
|
Please choose the archive format suitable for your platform, i.e. 7z
|
|
or ZIP for Windows platforms and tar.bz2 for the Unix systems
|
|
including OS X (all archives contain sources for all wxWidgets ports
|
|
but they use different line endings) and follow the instructions in
|
|
readme.txt file for installing it. Notice that if you decide to use
|
|
the Windows installer (.exe file) you still need to build wxWidgets
|
|
as only sources, not binaries, are installed.
|
|
|
|
We also provide the pre-built versions of wxMSW libraries for the
|
|
selected compilers at
|
|
|
|
https://sourceforge.net/downloads/wxwindows/3.0.0/binaries/
|
|
|
|
Please see the README file there for the descriptions of the
|
|
individual files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release is a culmination of several years of development since
|
|
the last stable 2.8 release. There are too many changes to be listed
|
|
here, but the most important ones are:
|
|
|
|
- Completely overhauled Unicode support which is much easier to use.
|
|
- New Cocoa-based wxOSX port for Mac OS X for both 32 and 64 bits.
|
|
- New wxGTK3 port, including support for Broadway (HTML5) backend.
|
|
- Access to the native web rendering engine with wxWebView.
|
|
- New property grid and ribbon libraries are now included in wxWidgets.
|
|
- Better interoperability with standard library classes.
|
|
- Totally revised and more readable manual.
|
|
- Improved debugging support.
|
|
|
|
Please see the changes.txt file in the "docs" subdirectory of
|
|
wxWidgets distribution or also available online at
|
|
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxwindows/files/3.0.0/changes.txt
|
|
for more details and please read the "INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES" section
|
|
in its beginning for a brief description of changes if you are
|
|
upgrading from wxWidgets 2.8. For more details, please see
|
|
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0.0/overview_changes_since28.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
We recommend that you use wxWidgets 3.0 for any new programs and
|
|
also update any existing code using the older versions to the new
|
|
one (which should be easier than the jump in the version number
|
|
indicates) as all the future development will only happen in 3.x
|
|
series.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We hope that you will enjoy using the new release!
|
|
